Fastener Jamher Taiwan Inc. Direct In-Process Control to Achieve 0 PPM

Fastener Jamher Taiwan Inc.. is specialized in manufacturing rivet nuts, weld nuts, flanged nuts, T nuts, sleeves, special nuts and also accepts orders of OEMs. Over 90% of its products are for export to the U.S. and Europe. Products are mostly supplied to car manufacturers. Material range includes carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and copper.

In addition, Fastener Jamher has passed the audit of German TÜV and has obtained both ISO-9001:2008 and TS 16949:2002. It continues to improve the management system to strengthen its corporal foundation, showing the ambition of entering the automotive fastener market.

Integrating Technology and Advantages to Be Competitive in the Automotive Fastener Market 

Fastener Jamher has been supplying special automotive nuts since its establishment in 1999. Chairman Steve Wu said ordering for a variety of products at a small amount recently has been a prevailing market trend. In correspondence to the current changes in orders, Fastener Jamher purchased multi-stage machines (e.g. 7 stages) to develop dies by itself. Further, it recruited a team for strengthening the ability of R&D, which can effectively reduce damages to dies, shorten processes, and achieve specific control on developing costs and lead time.

Wu said that Fastener Jamher produces products as per customer’s request and those products are mainly delivered to importers and manufacturers in the U.S. and Europe. He added that, after the floods in Thailand and the big earthquake striking Northeast Japan, many customers of Japanese car manufacturers transferred orders to Taiwan to diversify risks. Besides, he analyzed that the automotive fastener industry in the future trending towards energy saving and low carbon emission, which means the commonly used carbon steel or stainless steel will be replaced with high-temperature-resistant alloy, thus facilitating the idea of sustainable operation to be widespread.

Absolute 0 PPM in Every Process 

“Instead of using the all-purpose sorting machine to complete the final test, it is better to focus on the control of processes and think how to prevent defective products from being produced.” Wu’s several years of manufacturing experience helped structuralize the corporate culture of Fastener Jamher. He said that the company aims at achieving the standardization of every process and 0 PPM. When a company has both quality and technology, it can therefore compete with others offering low-price products.

Moreover, the company is devoted to the R&D of products, dragging the competitors far behind. Envisioning the future, Wu thinks both high added value and high quality should be taken into consideration. “The higher entry barrier of an industrial sector, the lesser number of competitors. That is, the added value will be increased.” Similar to mountain climbing, the more dangerous the situation is, the more excited Fastener Jamher will be!
